October launch

We are on course to be the first area in inner London where shops do not hand out plastic bags. This would be a huge triumph and would mean excellent press and PR for Newington Green and the businesses who are based there.

In a poll of over 140 people this year, 94% of residents supported a ban on plastic bags in Newington Green.

We are part of a huge grassroots revolution sweeping the country, against the wasteful use of plastic bags and other plastic containers. So far several towns in the UK (as well as whole countries worldwide) have succeeded and are already enjoying the bliss of a plastic-bag-free existence.

Wondering why we're making all this fuss? Below is some information which will persuade you if you are still unsure, and arm you with facts with which to persuade everyone else in our marvellous little corner of london.
